It’s the week of Christmas magic at Mona Elementary! 🎄✨
Our Elf on the Shelf made a surprise return today, and it was such a fun reminder of how much we love our students and the joy they bring to our school. The kids were so excited — singing along, smiling big, and soaking up the magic of the Christmas spirit. 🎶💫

✨ Kindergarten Gingerbread Day! ✨
Our kinders had the sweetest day—starting with a school-wide Gingerbread Hunt and ending with building their very own gingerbread houses. 🏠🍬
There was giggling, teamwork, frosting everywhere, and pure December magic. ✨
These little learners made memories just as wonderful as their creations!

Our incredible Mona Elementary Student Leadership team spent the day making a real difference! 💙✨
Thanks to the generosity of our amazing families, our food drive brought in nearly 500 pounds of food. Yesterday, our student leaders delivered every box to support families in need. They also helped deliver full Thanksgiving dinners to families right here in our community.

✨ The Magic of Kindergarten ✨
How cute are these pictures?! Our little learners are having so much fun practicing their letters in shaving cream! This hands-on activity makes learning letters exciting and memorable. We love seeing their creativity, giggles, and focus as they explore the magic of writing in such a fun way.

🌟 Congratulations to our 1st Quarter Student Leadership Council! 🌟
We’re so proud of these students for stepping up as leaders and role models in our school community. Their dedication, positivity, and commitment to making a difference set a wonderful example for their peers.










We were honored to welcome Lt. Governor Henderson and her staff to Mona Elementary today to learn more about our K–3 literacy program and to see our students and teachers in action. During her visit, she observed classrooms, reviewed student progress toward our reading goals, and spoke with teachers about strategies that help every student succeed. We are so proud of our students for reaching their literacy goals and showing what’s possible when teachers, families, and the community work together! ✨
